The study of 2000 adults, conducted by Triton Showers, found three in 10 adults brush their teeth as part of their shower routine. While four in 10 use the time to give the shower or bath a scrub and clean.

A spokesman for Triton Showers tells us, ‘The shower room is clearly so much more than an area simply designated for washing. Busy Brits are opting to eat, drink and even go on social media when showering. Because they are time-strapped they therefore try to juggle lots of tasks all at once.’
